Get ready for one of the most exciting youth events of the summer as Youth Lates returns for Cruinniú na nÓg on June 6th, 2026, with a high-energy open-air gig at Fr. Burke Park.

With a run of summer dates ahead—including All Together Now and Live at the Marquee with Bell X1—BABYRAT are firmly on the rise.

Local acts showcasing the very best of emerging Galway talent include;
Moonlight Eclipse, Silence Speaks Volumes, Copacetic, The Afterwards, Cats!
Aoibhnes, Mentality, Portraits, JAY, Izzy Melia, Millie Ross, Artem Knazev, Alyafeine
Jamie & Carla

Youth Lates reflects a growing appetite among young audiences in Galway for shared live music experiences and is part of Galway City Council’s Night-Time Economy Action Plan, creating age-appropriate and inclusive evening experiences.

Youth Lates at Cruinniú Late is delivered in partnership with Creative Ireland, Music Generation Galway City, Galway City Comhairle na nÓg and Youth Work Ireland Galway. Funded by Galway City Council Night-Time Economy and the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport.
